Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell was born #OTD in 1831.

His most significant contribution is his formulation of the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation. In 1861-1862, he published a series of papers culminating in "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field," in which he presented Maxwell's equations. He made substantial contributions to the kinetic theory of gases as well as to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution
